CVE-2022-50888 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: remoteproc: qcom: q6v5: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in q6v5_wcss_init_mmio() q6v5_wcss_init_mmio() will call platform_get_resource_byname() that may fail and return NULL. devm_ioremap() will use res->start as input, which may causes null-ptr-deref. Check the ret value of platform_get_resource_byname() to avoid the null-ptr-deref.
A potential null pointer dereference vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's remoteproc subsystem for Qualcomm Q6v5. The issue arises in the function q6v5_wcss_init_mmio(), which calls platform_get_resource_byname(). If this call fails, it returns NULL, leading to a null pointer dereference when devm_ioremap() uses the resource's start address. This vulnerability affects several versions of the Linux kernel.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been patched. Instructions for upgrading can be found in the official Linux kernel documentation.
